The outdoor space of the restaurant needs to balance the comfort of dining with the practicality of the space. Durable and easy to clean aluminum chairs and HPL tabletop tables can be selected to showcase a fashionable and atmospheric style. The outdoor leisure area of the hotel aims to provide customers with a high-quality relaxing experience. It can be equipped with luxurious lounge chairs, outdoor sofas, exquisite coffee tables, and sun shading facilities to create a luxurious and comfortable vacation atmosphere.
